1. SECTION I: PREAMBLE

Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) and Islamic Development Bank (“IDB”) have been mandated by Government of Pakistan (“GoP”) to develop and implement a greenfield 2x660 MW (Gross) supercritical coal-fired power plant in Jamshoro, Sindh, Islamic Republic of Pakistan (“The

Project”) to meet energy requirements of Pakistan in a cost-effective manner. Funding for one unit has already been approved by ADB and IDB, and GoP intends to develop and implement an additional unit, in order to complete 1320 MW (Gross) installed capacity in the country at the earliest through the commissioning of this Project.

The Project is being established by Jamshoro Power Company Limited (“JPCL”), also known as GENCO-1, which was incorporated in August 1998, as a GoP owned corporate entity, with a mandate to improve and maintain efficiency in generating electric power through economical and efficient use of resource in transparent manner. JPCL is a subsidiary of GENCO Holding Company Limited (“GHCL”), a Government of Pakistan Entity, primarily responsible for to direct management and operations of GENCO’s, including JPCL, for better corporate management, improved financial control and forward-looking business planning. JPCL and GHCL shall singly and/or jointly be referred to as the “Project Owner” hereafter in the document.

The Project shall be powered using sub-bituminous imported coal primarily of Indonesian origin. As GoP is keen to promote local coal reserves, therefore, the Project shall be designed in such a manner that indigenous lignite coal sourced from Thar, Pakistan can be blended with imported sub-bituminous coal.

The Project Owner, intends to invite potential coal suppliers, including but not limited to Coal Producers, Coal Mine Owners, Coal Trading Companies and Coal Marketing Firms, hereafter referred to as “Suppliers”, to submit proposals to pre-qualify for International Competitive Bidding (“ICB”) for supply of imported sub-bituminous coal under a Master Coal Supply Agreement, (“Master CSA”), based on annual bidding process.

As per the policy of Federal Government of Pakistan, all government entities, including the Project Owner, is obligated to follow the Public Procurement Rules 2004, as amended from time to time, hereafter referred to as “PPRA Rules” formulated under the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Ordinance, 2002 (“PPRA”). Details of PPRA Rules are available at http://www.ppra.org.pk/Rules.asp. All potential Suppliers shall comply with PPRA Rules to submit the Pre-Qualification Documents, (“PQDs”) in order to be eligible for ICB. Applicability of PPRA rules is mandatory for bidding process and potential Suppliers can only be engaged through a transparent and competitive bidding process.

This document, PQD, outlines the detailed criteria and requirements to submit the pre-qualification details through filing the Statement of Qualification (“SOQ”) comprising the Application Submission Sheet and Forms I-X, provided in Section VII of the PQD, along with the requisite supporting documentary evidence, to qualify for coal supply for the Project. Only the Suppliers complaint with this PQD shall be qualified and of them the top twenty (20) shall be deemed eligible sign the Master CSA and to participate in the bidding process.

2. SECTION II: PROJECT OVERVIEW

2.1. Project Owner

Jamshoro Power Generation Project, a greenfield 2x660 MW (Gross) Imported Coal-Fired Power Project being established at Mohra Jabal, Dadu Road Jamshoro Sindh, Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a Sovereign Project of GoP, being developed by JPCL under GHCL.

2.2. Project Rationale

The Project's impact will be reduction of load shedding in Pakistan. The Project will also result into a more efficient energy mix through diversification from expensive HFO to less expensive coal.

The project will:

a. increase the capacity of the JPCL by installing a 2x660-MW (gross) supercritical coal-fired unit, using an 80/20 blend of imported sub-bituminous coal and domestic lignite when available from Thar Coal Mine Fields;

b. improve compliance with international and national environmental standards by installing emission control devices for the existing units and remediating the site;

c. enhance the capacity of GHCL and JPCL by providing financial, technical, and operational training; and

d. promote education on coal-fired plant operation by providing on-the-job training, and integrating such training into technical school curriculum.

2.3. Project Overview

The Project shall be powered using imported sub-bituminous coal and electricity generated will be evacuated through 500kV transmission lines to National Transmission and Dispatch Company (“NTDC”). As GoP intends to promote local coal resources of Pakistan, the coal plant will also have the provision to burn lignite coal, once available from Thar Coal Mine, Sindh. The tentative Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) is scheduled in 2018.

ADB and IDB already committed funding for the development of this Project. ADB shall also support 5 year Operation and Maintenance (“O&M”).

Mott MacDonald has been engaged as the Technical Advisor to finalize the technical specifications of the Project.

Detailed imported coal requirements including specifications, timelines and quantity for this Project are given in Section IV. Siddiqsons Limited is engaged by Project Owner to assist in the process of coal procurement under a long term CSA to be sourced through the process of which these PQDs are a part. The role of Siddiqsons Limited is purely of a consultant with decision making, analysis and evaluation being supervised by the Project Owner.

3. SECTION III: COAL PROCUREMENT CONCEPT PAPER

This section covers the basic plan for procurement of Imported Coal.

The overall Imported Coal Supply to the Project is divided into following two components:

a. Master CSA or Master Coal Supply Agreement: Coal Supply at one of the ports in Pakistan on DAP basis. The port will be selected from time to time on competitive pricing basis. Bidding Notice and Confirmation Notice will govern such details to be signed in connection with the Master CSA

b. CHA or Coal Handling Agreement: Coal unloading from the ship and transportation to the site

ADB’s requirement is to have a long-term CSA. CHA cannot be fixed for the Term of CSA as much is expected to change with the establishment of new ports and deepening of existing ports in Pakistan. Therefore, CHA is completely excluded for the scope of this PQD and Master CSA.

Basic framework of Master CSA for Imported Coal Procurement is as follows:

3.1. Phase 1: Suppliers Prequalification

a. This PQD being advertised, for pre-qualification of Suppliers for International Competitive Bidding (“ICB”), requests for SOQ for three (construction years) + five (operational years) years Coal Supply to the Project

c. Scope of this PQD is limited to one-time prequalification of Suppliers on the basis of evaluation criteria outlined in this document

d. As a result of Suppliers’ Prequalification process, top 20 shortlisted Suppliers will be required to sign the Master CSA, draft enclosed as Annex-1, that outlines major terms and conditions for supply of Imported Coal to the Project Owner

e. Master CSAs will be signed with the top 20 prequalified Suppliers only. The quantity commitment for each Tender Period will be provided by the Project Owners. Master CSAs will ensure Project Owner’s compliance with ADB’s requirement

f. Shortlisted top twenty (20) Suppliers will also be required to submit a Corporate Guarantee as a part of Master CSA. Corporate Guarantee draft is provided in the Master CSA Draft in Annex-1

b. Suppliers will be considered for bidding during the course of eight (08) years (three (03) construction+ five (05) operation years). Some coal will be needed before start

Page 8 of 31

PQD for Coal Supply for 1320 MW Project by GHCL / JPCL

of operations for testing, commissioning and first fill of inventory during the construction phase

c. Bidding Schedule is as follows:

ii. Coal Supply shall be on Delivered at Place (DAP) basis, Incoterms-2010, and Project Owner will finalize and intimate the port to Supplier in the same Bidding Notice

iii. Top twenty (20) prequalified Suppliers, already having signed the Master CSAs, will be asked to place bids for the coal supply as per the specifications of the Project Owner within 10 days of issuance of the Bidding Notice

iv. The lowest price will be chosen for the supply of coal. A Confirmation Notice will be issued which will be final and binding upon Project Owner. An L/C will be opened with the lowest priced Supplier prior to delivery of Cargoes

v. The following guarantee structure will be applicable:

i. A bid bond of 1% will be taken when the specific bid is provided by Suppliers for each twelve-month period in response of the Bidding Notice
